Monetary Realism

“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”

Henry Ford

These items contain straight talk about one of the most — if not the most — important issue we face as a civilized people: Money.

Many of these items (especially those by Merrill Jenkins, Amos Bruce, and Dave Wilber) as originally published were typographical disasters. Subsequent scanning has not done the typesetting — or the content, for that matter — any favors. You can find scraps here and there around the web, not all of them formatted very well. I’m in the process of cleaning up the formatting a bit, and making them available here because every American should read and understand the Monetary Realists’ position.
